”What the hell do you think you're doing to my Aurora?!”

Upon hearing those words, Aurora's cheeks flushed red, her ears twitched at Gray's boldness.

Gray grabbed her by the arm, pulling her away from Axel's grasp before he standing up to him, chest to chest. Even after confirming that she wasn't harmed the expression on his face hadn't changed as he glared at the tower ahead of him.

”Tell your guys to stand down.” Demanded Gray.

Axel's group had surrounded them. Aurora who had noticed, was just waiting for the signal. But Gray knew better than to underestimate them there was no telling how many had abilities and what kind, especially when they were outnumbered, six to two.

At that moment, felt an intense amount of blood-lust being released out of Axel. He didn't need to look up to tell what sort of expression he was making. He remembered too well.

Axel's eyes grew cold and dark, as the smile on his face faded. ”A mere dog… Dares tell me what to do?” Axel asked. ”Accelerate.”

*VOOOM!*

Axel's figure suddenly faded before Gray felt a series of simultaneous kicks connect at him from the side. His body was able to react as it bent back to dodge the first one, but as for the other two-

*Bo-Boom!*

Sounds aching to that of gunshots resounded throughout the area as Gray's body was sent flying towards a nearby restaurants wall in a burst.

He couldn't react.

'Ah... That's right. I was attacked.'

His ears were ringing, his body was aching and his vision was slightly shaky. Looking up, he could see a crowd gathered around, along with Axel's towering figure ahead of him.

Slowly, whilst Axel approached him, he got up. The temperature in the area spiked down wards as ice lances formed around Axel stopping him in his tracks. A frustrated look could be seen on Aurora's face as she propelled them at him.

But the smile on his face never faded.

”Accelerate.”

[Accelerate]

Leaving behind a silhouette, Axel's figure vanished causing the lances to pierce through through the ground, freezing it instead.

At that instant, just as he had gotten up. Gray's eyes widened as Axel's feet came out of nowhere and suddenly sunk into his chest, causing him to crash through the wall into the restaurant in the process.

”What the hell man!? I saved up three days for that burger!” Shouted a customer who's table was flipped over from the burger.

The scene had caused a commotion.

”What's going on?”
